Efficiency analysis of tumbu sugarcane production using DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) in Dawe District, Kudus Regency

Abstract

Tumbu sugar is sugar that is produced using sugar cane as raw material which is packed with woven bamboo. This research aims to evaluate the technical efficiency of using tumbu sugar production inputs in Dawe District, Kudus Regency. This research uses secondary data and primary data from questionnaires, the population in this study as many as 192 tumbu sugar craftsmen then testing the population using the slovin formula and obtained 85 samples of tumbu sugar craftsmen in Dawe District.
